Are there tall buildings near your home?
Yes. There are a few tall buildings not far from my home. A couple of office blocks and one apartment tower are about ten minutes' walk away. You can see them when you go to the main road. They make the area look a bit modern.
Yes — within about a 10–15 minute walk there's a small cluster of high-rise blocks. They're mostly office and residential towers and they really change the skyline compared with the low houses in my neighbourhood. I don't mind them; they make the area feel more urban and they mean there are shops and cafés nearby.
